Is't it nice that we have the Food Gestapo to tell us what we can and can't eat? *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/11/2010 04:46:04 AM 416 Views
It doesn't say anything about what you can and can't eat, it just says you can't be rewarded with Helene - 04/11/2010 11:25:31 AM 960 Views
For someone ostensibly obsessed with Germany, you sure enjoy trivializing the Holocaust. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/11/2010 11:56:49 PM 566 Views

the government should not have to right to say how I feed my child random thoughts - 04/11/2010 01:37:41 PM 927 Views
I find feeding happy meals to children far more appalling. LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 01:39:13 PM 874 Views
what you like to eat really isn't the point though random thoughts - 04/11/2010 02:13:31 PM 1038 Views

the government limits the kind of advertising your child sees during saturday morning cartoons moondog - 04/11/2010 03:36:47 PM 797 Views
that isn't even close to the same thing random thoughts - 04/11/2010 04:15:09 PM 917 Views

it's not MUCH more healthy. LadyLorraine - 05/11/2010 12:00:31 PM 834 Views
I don't think the toy is that big of a draw for kids, really. BlackAdder - 04/11/2010 05:11:10 PM 882 Views
The toys were a definite draw for mine Helene - 05/11/2010 08:20:05 AM 930 Views

You're using yourself as an example at an age when the effect will be less anyway Helene - 06/11/2010 07:11:11 AM 788 Views
Not a big fan of that decision, either. As for introducing the metric system: would be past time. Legolas - 04/11/2010 12:01:41 PM 943 Views

milk or juice have ALWAYS been options, and every mcdonalds i've been to has offered the apples. *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 01:36:34 PM 547 Views
